It may very easily be the girl in me, but I can sometimes be such a sucker for a good wedding. Since I truly love outdoor gatherings, my favorites of the weddings I have seen tend to occur under the sun in the summertime. Cold fruity drinks, bunting, sundresses, paper fans, and beer are all a plus.

This week I seem to be going through another one of my strong Scandinavia obsessions. I can't stop thinking about bold contrasts, color pops, modern furnishings, and little bit of quirkiness, all frequently seen in Scandinavian interiors. These homes in Finland are tickling my fancy right now.

Oh yes, I am truly lovingthis new Selby tour of the home of Auckland artists/directors Karen Inderbitzen-Walller and Delphine Avril Planqueel. So much personality, great design, and the good kind of clutter. (See also: Karen's blog)
